David Cameron to step down as Prime Minister

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

Following the Panama Papers scandal, the prime minster of Iceland was forced to step down by the Icelandic people for his hidden off shore interests. Following the revelation that David Cameron held a stake in his fathers company, also based in a tax haven, we call for him to step down as well.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

The resignation of the Prime Minister is not a decision for the Government or Parliament as a whole.
